HelpCrunch Overview#

The HelpCrunch API provides a platform for customer communication, enabling automation of messaging, data synchronization, and customer support activities. It allows you to create and update users, send messages, and manage conversations directly through API calls. Integrating HelpCrunch with Pipedream lets you connect these capabilities to hundreds of other apps, streamlining workflows that can respond dynamically to customer interactions, sync data across platforms, or trigger communications based on specific events.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "helpcrunch-new-customer",
  name: "New Customer",
  version: "0.0.1",
  description: "Emit new event when a new customer is created. [See the documentation](https://docs.helpcrunch.com/en/rest-api-v1/search-customers-v1)",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.helpcrunch.searchCustomers;
    },
    getKey() {
      return "id";
    },
    generateMeta(customer) {
      return {
        id: customer.id,
        summary: `New Customer with ID ${customer.id}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
HelpCrunch	`helpcrunch`	`app`	This component uses the HelpCrunch app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

HelpCrunch uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your HelpCrunch account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to HelpCrunch APIs in both code and no-code steps.

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview#

The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.

Action Code#

const swapi = require("../../swapi.app.js");
const axios = require("axios");

module.exports = {
  key: "swapi-get-film",
  name: "Get Film",
  version: "0.0.13",
  description: "Get a film",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    swapi,
    film: {
      propDefinition: [
        swapi,
        "film",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run() {
    return (await axios({
      url: `https://swapi.dev/api/films/${this.film}`,
    })).data;
  },
};
